Regards to all.

The suggested requirements for running Windows XP are a PC with a 300-MHz or higher Intel Pentium/Celeron family, AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family, or compatible processor

While 64MB is the minimum amount of RAM required, you're probably going to want well over 128MB

You need 1.5GB of available hard disk space.

You need an SVGA or higher-resolution video adapter and monitor capable of at least 800x600 resolution.


dnload and install aida 32 to check your hwd to see if it is compatable

these are the bare minimun and it prob. would not run all that great on them

Errrr....with a 2-gig harddrive, with XP and the swap file, seems to me there won't be much, if any, space left for anything else...unless I read it wrong and 2o means 20.

If that's the case...nevermind. ;)
